I went to Figuerolles again today to seek folks to respond to my increasingly memorized questionnaire. It went fairly well for the time I was there, I got about 10 or so, which is as many as a single person can get during a day at the market (if only I had a team of eager researchers).
The worst part of the day was of course during a coffee break at the café across the street. I was minding my own business going over my questionnaires, sipping my coffee when the wind knocked the large metal umbrella behind me onto my shoulder (fortunately missing the sensitive back of my head area). Now I'm starting to feel the pain from that, but at the time all I could think about was the hot coffee spilled all over my face, hair, hands, glasses, table, notebook and surveys. Good times fokes, good times. As the server said, "Now you're research is about coffee." Classy.
After succumbing to the heat/tiredness, I returned back to the house to retire for the evening in preparation of a long day at the flea market at La Paillade, where I hope to hit my 50 mark! If I can leave Montpellier with 70+ surveys, I'll be happy. I have not too many days left to accomplish my goal, and I'm running out of people to ask in the two neighborhoods I've been going to. (Afraid to expand search to other neighborhoods for statistical reasons).
In other news, I hate Glenn Beck.
